Under Pressure Performance by The Upward Dogs

Imagine a DJ with crates of records of rare grooves, samples from the hippest producers, and tastes from Africa, Latin America, the hippest scenes in the US and beyond. The DJ makes you move, controls your energy, implicitly tells you when to lay in the cut, when to throw down hard, when to lose your mind and question everything in your life that was separating you from that single moment of ecstasy. That's what The Upward Dogs do, too.
